I'm really happy in my life.
I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.
I want to be healthy.
I don't really know why I'm not thinner than I am.
I just don't lose weight easily.
I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, 'I don't know if I can take the actors.'
I think when you can actually do what you love to do, if it's a little play somewhere, if it's a photo, if it's anything- if you can somehow do what you want and do a really good job at it, I think that's pretty successful.
In terms of threshold, as long as it's based in reality, you can go pretty far, as long as you buy that it's really happening.
I don't like to do anything that's mean spirited just because I don't find it funny. I'd rather be the jackass than makes fun of somebody else. It just seems too cheap and easy.
When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's like my favorite thing on earth.
I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'
I've been every size in the world. Parts of my 20s, I was in great shape, but I didn't appreciate it. If I was a 6 or an 8, I thought, "Why aren't I a 2 or a 4?" Now I feel like I have two great kids and the dreamiest husband on the planet, and everything else is just a work in progress.
As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
